Biography
Pilkington was an English-American ranch hand from Odd Fellow's Rest who later turned to being a bounty hunter, catching wanted criminals in exchange for money. In 1911 he teamed up with Thomas Greene in an attempt to apprehend John Marston, whose bounty was worth $155. At Cholla Springs the posse ambushed Marston on horseback while Marston was retrieving a stolen horse for a fellow back in the city of Armadillo, but Marston was quick to shoot all three of them. He looted their bodies of weapons and money before fleeing.
